Kids are like water, they keep flowing but is our responsibility to shape them as water has no definite shape, it takes the shape of the container that it is placed in, kids also take the shape that we help them in and it is our sole responsibility to shape our them in the right way so that they correctly shape this world.
This article focuses on how to make them wise and help them learn in the right way so that they are confident enough, can tolerate new things and also learn how things work in this world. This article focuses on the maths concepts and how to report the child of his/her weakness and strengths.
How to Write Comments for Maths Concepts for Kindergarten?
Understanding concepts is a big task for kids and making them sit and learn is bigger than that.
The four concepts for kindergarten students are mentioned below.
Counting
Every child begins their mathematics by counting and writing the numbers. They start to count objects, things that are around them and compare the results and make their analysis.
One should always encourage their child to touch different objects, move them, count them and write them down and use measurement vocabulary to help them understand them.
Addition and Subtraction
Telling stories of ‘Once upon a time there were two bananas and then two apples became friends, so tell me how many friends are there in total?’ the masking them to draw and visualise the numbers and add and subtract them. Telling them to use their fingers or can use their stationary to count things.
Measurement and Data
While playing with them ask them which of your toys weighs more or which is bigger, they start analysing the things and then come to comparing things too, they start to use words like ‘That is bigger than this but, this is heavier.’ This shows they are comparing and understanding the measurements concepts and serving the data.
Geometry
When they are using the appropriate language to determine shapes ask them to again look around and encourage them to understand the 2D and 3D objects differently and count the number of sides, edges, symmetries, etc.
How to Write Comments?
While writing comments one should always keep one thing in mind that the kid should not be discouraged and while writing the final report it should be clear and concise. Here is the way of how to write it.

How to Prepare a Questionnaire for Kindergarten for Maths?
This article will provide you with a structured way for how to prepare a questionnaire and we will be providing two ways, one for parents/guardians at home and one for teachers at school.
For Parents/ Guardians
# First, observe your child/children when they are doing mathematics, calculate their time, their accuracy and their knowledge about the subject.
# Note down everything and write the dates according to it.
# While starting to prepare the question paper, note that you give them 20% of hard questions which you have analysed, 40% of medium questions and 40% of easy questions.
# Giving them 5-6 easy questions in the first then some medium level questions then 2-3 hard questions and then ending up with easy questions
# This will boost their confidence and also they will learn how to solve the hard ones too.

For Teachers
Teachers can’t analyse each and everyone and prepare different questions papers, so here is a method of how to do this
# As per the class, as per the teachers experience divide the questions into hard, easy and medium level questions.
# Then scatter them down and write them according to the marks that you want to allow
# Giving them 5-6 easy questions in the first then some medium level questions then 2-3 hard questions and then ending up with easy questions
# This will help them boost their confidence, some children might find the hard ones easy, some easy ones hard, some may find it in the middle.
# After the test, analysis can be made on the further pattern of the question paper by taking an average.
Maths for Kindergarten

# Enhancing critical thinking and numerical abilities
# Enhancing the spatial and visual abilities
# Maths teaching us how to make calculated and structural moves in our lives
